In ''Altneuland'', Herzl did not foresee any conflict between [[Jews]] and [[Arabs]]. One of the main characters in ''Altneuland'' is a Haifa engineer, Reshid Bey, who is one of the leaders of the "New Society." He is very grateful to his Jewish neighbors for improving the economic condition of Israel and sees no cause for conflict. All non-Jews have equal rights, and an attempt by a fanatical rabbi to disenfranchise the non-Jewish citizens of their rights fails in the election which is the center of the main political plot of the novel.<ref>{{cite news|title=Herzl's vision of racism|first=Shlomo|last=Avineri|author-link=Shlomo Avineri|url=http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1062723.html|work=[[Haaretz]]|access-date=8 August 2009|date=2 September 2009|archive-date=17 April 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090417060839/http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1062723.html|url-status=dead}}</ref>
 
Herzl also envisioned the future Jewish state to be a "third way" between capitalism and socialism, with a developed welfare program and public ownership of the main natural resources. Industry, agriculture and trade were organized on a cooperative basis. Along with many other progressive Jews of the day, such as [[Emma Lazarus]], [[Louis Brandeis]], [[Albert Einstein]], and [[Franz Oppenheimer]], Herzl desired to enact the land reforms proposed by the American political economist [[Henry George]]. Specifically, they called for a [[land value tax]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://jewishcurrents.org/henry-george-zionism-32779|title=Henry George and Zionism|work=Jewish Currents|access-date=24 February 2015|archive-date=18 October 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151018155237/http://jewishcurrents.org/henry-george-zionism-32779|url-status=dead}}</ref> He called his mixed economic model "Mutualism,", a term derived from French [[utopian socialist]] thinking. Women would have [[Women's suffrage|equal voting rights]]—as they had in the Zionist movement from the Second Zionist Congress onwards.
 
In ''Altneuland'', Herzl outlined his vision for a new Jewish state in the [[Land of Israel]]. He summed up his vision of an open society:<blockquote>"It is founded on the ideas which are a common product of all civilized nations ... It would be immoral if we would exclude anyone, whatever his origin, his descent, or his religion, from participating in our achievements. For we stand on the shoulders of other civilized peoples ... What we own we owe to the preparatory work of other peoples. Therefore, we have to repay our debt. There is only one way to do it, the highest tolerance. Our motto must therefore be, now and ever: 'Man, you are my brother.'"<ref name="Zion p.185">'Zion & the Jewish National Idea', in ''Zionism Reconsidered'', Macmillan, 1970 PB, p.185</ref></blockquote>
